I'm trying to help my group figure out how to create certain weapons and actions correctly for a Pathfinder 1E game, but I've run into a bit of a wall as I'm still new at this and was hoping someone would be able to help.

I'd like to create a were creature for a PC to fight. How do I represent DR 5/silver? Can this be done for PCs? Can this be done for NPCs? Can this be done for Monsters? (Whats the difference?)
The PC is a fighter wielding a +3 steel sword. How can the ability to overcome damage reduction based on the enhancement bonus be represented?
How do I create the item so that the action is automatically set up correctly when given to a player?


I've tried reading the PDF, but that seems more 5E focused. I've tried reading the User Guides on the wiki, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it.

I've created a local test campaign that is currently empty so I can test it all in isolation.https://19216811.cam/ (https://19216811.cam/) https://1921681001.id/ (https://1921681001.id/)

That is actually indeed as in 5e :)

Do you know how to use effects? The effect here would be DR: 5 silver :) Do you play PF1 instead of 3.5e? (because of the damage reduction overcoming by enhancement) Whether or not you overcome a DR is determined by the damage types :) So, just add the damage types you have :)

Here's the wiki section on effects in PF 1E:
